Apache Camel: EDI

EDI DataFormat

This component ships with a EDI dataformat that can be used to format from a java.io.InputStream to XML as a org.w3c.Document Object.

marshal = currently not supported by Smooks
unmarshal = from stream to XML (can be used when reading EDI files)

The EDIDataFormat must be configued with either a:

setSmooksConfig(configfile) = a fully Smooks configuration file
setMappingModel(modelfile) = just the mapping model xml file and Camel will use a default Smooks configuration

To use the data format simply instantiate an instance, set the configuration (above) and invoke the unmarshal operation in the route builder:

DataFormat edi = new EDIDataFormat();
edi.setMappingModel("my-order-mapping.xml");
...
from("file://edi/in").
  unmarshal(edi).
  to("jms:queue:edi");

And you can also provide the full Smooks configuration file where you can configure Smooks as you want, in case the default configuration isn't useful:

DataFormat edi = new EDIDataFormat();
edi.setSmooksConfig("my-smooks-config.xml");
...
from("file://edi/in").
  unmarshal(edi).
  to("jms:queue:edi");

Dependencies

To use EDI in your camel routes you need to add the a dependency on camel-smooks which implements this data format.

This component is hosted at the Camel Extra project since the Smooks library uses a licenses which cant be included directly in an Apache project.
